President and Mrs. Bush's Dog Spot Passes On

US service men and women are dying almost daily and yet the White House website is somewhat bereft of tributes to them anything approaching the detail of his DOG!!

Oh yeah, check it out. Video (in two formats!!), cute piccies and a biog(!!!!) for Spot.

The hypocrisy is almost clinical. I just stared at it in utter disbelief. Surely this is galling even to pro-war Americans? That this man can care so much more for his 15 year old dog than the 500 young men and women that have been blown to pieces in an illegal war? Make no mistake, Bush pushed through this war, he sold it to America (like Blair failed to sell to the UK but went through with it anyway). He has declared himself a "war president". Such a war president that he'd rather spend taxpayers money building a multimedia tribute page to his pet than do anything of the kind for his soldiers.

In fact, searching the White House website I can find only one occasion where Bush has so much as visited even injured soldiers since the start of the war 12 months ago. Now don't say "ah, but it's not his responsibility". If it's not the Commander In Chief's responsibility to pay tribute to his soldiers, then who's is it?? In fact, responsibility has nothing to to with it. All Americans should pay tribute to them. But, because services are kept out of sight as much as possible, the American public are only peripherally aware of them because they don't witness them.

In the same way that many things are out there "hidden in plain view" that should anger people to the hilt (like WTC7 was demolished on the instructions of the WTC owner - the owner himself has said it on camera - yet FEMA reported that it just collapsed due to fire) there are actions and demonstrations of Bush's shameless hypocrisy, like this, that are so up front that people - and the media in particular - just, kind of, blank them. Something so in-your-face heartless is just too much to deal with and you try to push it away to pretend Bush isn't so callous. But he is and America must see this and get rid of him.
